I've never had an acting lesson. I've never been given techniques. Everything I've done is invented. I just sort of found out [how to do it].

I hate the idea of always having to interpret other people's ideas and thoughts and words, because I'm very independent and, I guess, a free thinker.

Look, sweetheart, I can drink you under any goddamn table you want, so don't worry about me.

I love going to rock concerts, I love to lose myself in that vast wave of rhythm and body heat and get on the same vibe.

Marriage is a great institution.

Why shouldn't gay people be able to live as open and freely as everybody else? What it comes down to, ultimately, is love. How can anything bad come out of love? The bad stuff comes out of mistrust, misunderstanding and, God knows, from hate and from ignorance.

I think I'm finally growing up - and about time.
